Pilgrimage chapel of St. John the Baptist
The old castle chapel was first mentioned in the Konradin register of the Freising diocese in 1315. Today's sacred space, known as the Thierberg Chapel, is located on the converted ground floor of the palace. This represents an irregular rectangle because the built-in spiral staircase to the upper floor extends into the room. Due to the nature of the building, the chapel is oriented from north to south and has a northern gallery. The east windows show rich stucco frames.

Station on the Stations of the Cross climb to the castle ruins
On the high altar from 1780 there is a painting by Franz Stirz depicting the beheading of St. John the Baptist. Semi-figurative busts of the Twelve Apostles are placed on the choir side walls. A replica of the Madonna of Montserrat, which came to the sacred space in 1811, stands on the southwest side altar. A baroque crucifix with Jesus in a halo is attached between the windows. The painting, located in a niche on the west wall, depicts four stages in the life of the chapel patron. Almost all of the remaining wall surfaces are decorated with votive tablets and folk votive offerings made of wax.

The Thierberg Chapel is not only considered a place of power, but also offers a wonderful panorama. The chapel and the observation tower are accessible free of charge.
